Beau Newman Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 It's a bit tardy but, I finally got around to taking some photos today. The OMSA Convention in August was smaller than in recent years but, there were still finds to be made. Day one netted these cased pieces from Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen and Saxony: Day 2 netted 2 Waldeck pieces:
Deruelle Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Very nice Beau, congrats. I like the Schwarzburg cross. Christophe
Claudio Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Really nice stuff... the Waldeck due and the Godet-labeled case! :-) Wow... the Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen Silver cross is showing the reverse medaillion...
Gerd Becker Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Very nice, Beau. I allways thought, the Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen awards look very appealing. One of my favourites.

One of my favourites. I'm a fan of this award too. And you have one in the case. Very nice. All four of your awards are VERY nice pieces!
Streptile Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Interesting Godet case. According to my research, J. Godet moved from the Schloßfreiheit address in about 1891, so that can date the case and perhaps also the piece, if that's possible.

The only info I have is the Jacobs book, which mentions a couple of later addresses but not this one. You can learn something every day on this site.
kasle Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Schlossfreiheit 4 was the first address of Godet company in Berlin. Jean Godet rented this building in 1761 and bought it to his possession in 1793 (February 19). Company Godet left the Schlossfreiheit in 1893. In June 1894, this street was demolished to free the space for Kaiser´s Wilhelm I. Natonal Memorial. This photo of Schlossfreiheit street is from 1892 and Godet company still can be seen there (on total left). Edited March 19, 2016 by kasle
